Don't be afraid of FEAR

Carsten Reisinger

Fear keeps me here
Fear helps me fall
Fear she loves me
Fear he knows all

Fear lets me wonder
But never really know
Fear keeps me asunder
With nothing left to show.

Fear holds me down
And won't let me get up
Fear steals my hope
Fear makes me give up
Fear cries when I am strong
Fear sighs when it is gone
Fear lies when it is wrong
Fear falls asleep at dawn
